🚨New paper alert!! Really excited to see this story out in JCI insight - highlights defects in a subset of immune cells called Vdelta2 T cells in people living with obesity. These cells are really important for fighting viruses and cancer, and might explain why we see more infections & cancer in obesity. Importantly we can see bariatric surgery restores these cells!! Led by @ciara.l.flynn but it takes a village. Thanks to funding from Health Research Board. Find it here https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.207365

Consent is about more than romantic relationships — it matters in our friendships, families, partnerships, and everyday interactions. 🫶

Whether you’re checking in with a friend, communicating with a partner, or navigating a conversation with a colleague, asking first and respecting someone’s boundaries helps build safer, healthier, and more meaningful connections. 💬✨

Remember:
💜 Ask, don’t assume.
💛 Listen without judgement.
💜 Respect boundaries.
💛 Make space for an honest answer.

Because asking first isn’t just kind, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥. 💜

Each year on 16th October, people gather to retrace Sir William Rowan Hamilton’s footsteps on the journey that led to him discovering the equation for Quaternions, a strange new number system.

This piece of graffiti changed mathematics forever.

Led by Maynooth University and Dunsink Observatory, folks walked along the canal to Broom Bridge to witness the annual tradition for Hamilton Day. Maths Week occurs on Hamilton Day every year to commemorate this Irish Mathematical heritage.

This September, we took the Best of Tesco on the road to eight campuses across Ireland during Freshers Week 🎓

We designed and built a bespoke, fast-paced match-three game that had students racing against the clock, battling for the top spot on the leaderboard for a chance to win some great prizes.

Quick enough for students to play between lectures and competitive enough that friends kept coming back to beat each other’s scores.

Hoards of students, lots of friendly competition and triple the target for Clubcard sign-ups 👌

THE WIDER WORLD - AN SAOL MÓR
A Public Lecture Series by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities

This series brings Maynooth University research into conversation with the wider community through four accessible and thought-provoking events on medieval Ireland, disability and care, digital technologies and data centres, and Sinéad O’Connor.

The first talk in our series will be presented by Dr Niamh Wycherley, department of Early Irish and department of History.

This talk offers some fascinating insights into the rich, diverse, and multicultural world of medieval Ireland. Inspired by Thomas Cahill’s famous 1995 book, "How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of Ireland’s Heroic Role from the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Medieval Europe", we will interrogate the idea that Ireland was a beacon of light during the troubled ‘Dark Ages’. This talk will celebrate Irish achievements in this period but also demonstrate that ideas, texts, artistic influences and people travelled both to and from Ireland and that Ireland was always part of a much wider world.

The Centre for the Study of Historic Irish Houses and Estates would like to congratulate our Director, Professor Terence Dooley, who has recently begun his term as Parnell Fellow in Irish Studies at Cambridge University, 2026-27.

The fellowship will see Professor Dooley based at Magdalene College for the year, sharing his unrivalled knowledge and expertise on Irish history and undertaking new research that will enrich teaching and wider scholarly activity at both Cambridge and Maynooth.

The award of this highly prestigious fellowship is reflective of Professor Dooley’s impact as a world leading scholar.

We wish Terry a very enjoyable year, and look forward to welcoming him back to Maynooth next year.
